Abstract

This study examines undergraduates and postgraduates use of the internet for academic purposes in STREAM fields. A mixed method research which sampled 100 respondents selected through snowballing sampling technique. Four research questions and one hypothesis guided this study. Two instruments namely Internet Usage Questionnaire (IUQ) and semi-structured interview on challenges experienced in the utilisation of internet (IUIT) were employed for data collection. Standard deviation and independent sample t-test analysed the descriptive (quantitative) aspect of questions and hypothesis raised respectively, while thematic analysis was employed in the narrative (qualitative) section. The study found that mobile apps, software, and website were among the media through which students access academic resources on the internet.  No significant difference was found in the level of usage of the internet for academic purposes between undergraduates and postgraduates in STREAM fields. Poor internet facility, high cost of internet subscription, wide search for relevant academic resources due to inaccessibility to paid resources and many ad pop-ups owing to unlicensed software were among the challenges experienced by the respondents. Furthermore, stakeholders are enjoined to make available fast and affordable internet to ease the concerns raised.

Abstract

Abstract: Student performance and achievement have always been at the centre of school reform efforts around the world. This led to Instructional Leadership being regarded as being key for improving teaching and learning processes. Although there is an inextricable connection between instruction and learning, it does not directly address subject-specific Instructional Leadership. Hence, this study investigated teachers' perspectives on Instructional Leadership for the subject of Life Sciences. By applying a qualitative case study approach, we interviewed high school principals, departmental heads, and teachers in two South African schools from the Gert Sibande District in the Mpumalanga Province. Thematic analysis was employed to analyse the collected data. Findings revealed differences in the conception and understanding of Instructional Leadership among teachers, departmental heads, and principals regarding the Life Sciences. Teachers only understood Instructional Leadership based on their job-descriptions. We recommend that based on the findings of this study, it is important that the knowledge of teachers, departmental heads and principals be extensively upgraded on subject-specific Instructional Leadership. Keywords: Academic achievement, Instructional Leadership, Life Sciences, supervision, transition
